Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Gambling should always be viewed as a form of entertainment with money you can afford to lose, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the operator, and there is no guaranteed way to win.

If you find yourself gambling to make money, chase losses, or use gambling to escape problems, these are warning signs that you should seek help immediately.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, gambling is illegal and harmful to your development. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss the risks of gambling with young people.

By accessing gambling services through this website, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognise these warning signs in yourself or others:

• Chasing losses: Gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Hiding gambling: Keeping gambling activities secret from family or friends
• Increasing amounts: Needing to gamble with more money to get the same excitement
• Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments due to gambling

• Borrowing money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble

If you recognise any of these signs, please reach out for support immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

• Time Reminders: Receive notifications about how long you've been gambling
• Reality Checks: Pop-up reminders of your spending and time spent gambling
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from gambling accounts
